There is an easy locking device that can be added to any Cinch-Jones connector. The ones used on the older Yaesu radios had this device included. You would have to practically destroy the chassis to get them apart if you didn't squeeze it properly to dis-engage the lock.
Much tighter and higher current rating than those Anderson power poles everyone seems to have fallen for. 73, Charlie k3ICH -----Original Message----- From: elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net <elecraft-boun...@mailman.qth.net> On Behalf Of Fred Jensen Sent: Friday, April 19, 2019 2:29 PM To: elecraft@mailman.qth.net Subject: Re: [Elecraft] Cinch Jones Connectors Because they are not locking and will separate if pulled, on more than once occasion while I was snarfing around behind the desk and got my foot tangled up in all the "wireless" down there, I did not pull the TX off the desk.
